Abstract
Due to the wide use of rubber components in different engineering applications such as vibration isolators, engine mounts, car tires, and bridge bearing pads, etc., this rubber component is mostly subjected to repeated loads continuously. As a result, these loads will initiate cracks on the outside surface of a component and then, these cracks will grow over time, and then, the growth of the cracks increase leading to a failure of the rubber component. Many researchers have studied the behavior of fatigue under the action of many factors by utilizing many devices. These devices produce repeated loading on the sample made of rubber material, initiating cracks and, then crack growth, which leads to failure. Therefore, in this paper, a modern test device has been developed and constructed to perform laboratory rubber fatigue testing. This device has been proven to be accurate and with the ability of repeatability.
